No. 1
KAANAPALI BEACH, BLACK ROCK
KAANAPALI BEACH, BLACK ROCK
Kaanapali Beach, a mile-long expanse of white-sand, is situated a few miles north of West Maui’s Lahaina. Dotted with hotels and condos (dominated by the Kaanapali Resort), on most days (during the hours before the sun starts sinking behind the waves), the beach is decked with sunbathers and swimmers. Besides some of the best waters for snorkeling on Maui, there’s the entertaining evening pastime of watching a diver leap into the ocean from 40-foot-high Black Rock (Puu Kekaa) in a re-enactment of a feat by Maui’s revered King Kahekili
